Oil leaking heavy just above oil filter ,passenger side 2002 crv ,not coming from head oil leaking heavy passenger side above oil filter, not coming from head

I think that might be the oil pressure sending unit that is leaking.

I agree with the poster mike loshbough

The oil pressure sending switch is leaking.

for one this motor in this car ant a dodge motor it is the 3.0 mitsubishi motor and they are very good

Common oil leaks on a 3 series are:
1) Power steering hoses. If you have not yet replaced any power steering hoses on a 2002 I can almost promise you that one or more of them are leaking.
2) Valve cover gasket. Same comment as above. This tends to leak on the exhaust manifold side and stink like burned plastic as the synthetic oil burns on the manifold.
3) Oil line to the VANOS.
4) Oil filter housing.
Oil from any of these leaks will tend to move rearward as it makes its way to the ground.

I had this same problem. On the passenger side there is some gasket underneath where the windshield meets the plastic guard for the wipers that is prone to fall off. It's to protect from water entering through your passenger compartment filter. Take it to a local shop and just have them glue it back on. The water gets in through the cabin filter, so you may need to replace the filter as well if it's gotten moldy. Quick, easy fix.

The oil pressure sending unit screws into the engine block so you will need to look between the oil pan and the head.I suggest that you try tightening your oil filter first.

power steering fluid??????

if it's a diesiel the it's coming from your oil line to your turbo. if it is gas then it could be a leak coming from a leaking valve cover gasket.

the round oval shaped object in question should be the canister where your oil filter goes ,yes there is a gasket on the inside that may have been broke or left off on your last oil change

the oil sending unit is located on the front of the engine(this is facing the passenger side fender.) to access it take the front tire off on passenger side you will see the oil filter and a sending unit right behind and above it it will have a green colored plug. please rate this. thanks
